Really important messages delivered with a lot of heart. And with a full suite of voice acting- a huge feat for this jam! I have to second another comment here- this felt so intimate, and so raw. Props for putting this out there, and a virtual hug from me.

Aaaaah this really hit close to home,,, Very well handled and felt really genuine. The voice acting was really nice and I really loved the characters! They all felt like real people I’d meet in my friend circles which felt comforting!

Developer

Thanks, that's a huge compliment!

Ahhhhh I loved the concept of this ! The character sprites were so cute and such a big props to getting voice acting within 10 days!? I would 100% love to see a continuation of this story with these characters, whether it be a whole delve into time traveling to see how trans rights have grown and where it started, or simply an epilogue to see the results of the choice made at the end <3

Tysm!  I'd love to see that too!

The voice actors had such great chemistry! I love the texturing of the art and the short but sweet intimate feel of the story. No matter what you pick there's something to take away from each ending, love it! :,)

Developer

Ty!  Everyone on the team did an awesome job!

I admire deeply the care put into handling such a genuinely serious and prescient political question about the lives of trans folk. The quirky time-travel premise presents an invitation to engage with that question in a way that is softer and kinder than a more blunt discussion of trans rights in 2024 can reasonably be. Even when RIaTTN is very frank about 2024’s bleak material realities, the main cast balms it with love, understanding, and forgiveness for each other. It is this specific complement between its despair and its hope that gives RIaTTN its texture. I am grateful for the forgiveness communicated in all three post-choice paths as well — whether to leave or to fight is an intensely painful question to grapple with in the first place. RIaTTN is a game that treats its players, its subject, and its choice with love and understanding, and it warms my heart.

I was really impressed by how much voice acting there was in this game! That's a whole lot of VA to get done in 10 days, wow. The character designs are really cute too! I liked how none of the endings were portrayed as "wrong"; with a dilemma like that, all the options have their upsides and downsides, and it really comes down to one's own assessment.

Also, as a heads up, there's a line from Nyx near the end of the first ending where the wrong voice file plays (it's really obvious when you get to it because the text is really short and the voice line is long).

Developer

All of the voice actors did a fantastic job!  & thank you!

Gotcha!  Do you remember which line that was exactly?

Submitted

The voice acting in this was really great! All the voice actors really cemented the characters personalities for me! (Also as a kingdom hearts fan I want to guess and say that Lexa = Axel, Nyx = Xion, and Max = Roxas for who each character was based on).

Glad you liked it! & you are correct! C:

If you make a follow up, I d like to have some description of the future. For example, what Nix experienced when there.

Developer

That could be cool, yeah!
